I basically cried through this entire book. My heart is entirely broken into little pieces. It's going to take me a long time to get over the book hangover from this one. I have been completely swept into the Tiger world, and I'm not sure I will ever totally emerge.

The mystical Indian setting and the mythical quests and prophecies just keep coming in this book! The whole Tiger world is absolutely enchanting. I love how the magic is entwined with old Hindu myths!

I fell in love with each of these characters, and I was cheering and groaning and laughing and crying for them through all four books. The tension keeps building, and the story becomes more epic as it goes along. The stakes are higher through every quest!

The philosophy keeps getting deeper as the characters learn more about themselves and their true destiny. I loved Kelsey's interactions with the Phoenix, and the depth of her character as she struggles with moral lessons and emotional truths. She's always growing and learning; one of the many things I love about her. She has such a good heart, that she can even influence the most evil people she encounters. As always, Kelsey does stupid stuff and makes mistakes, but she always faces up to things and rarely makes the same mistake twice. I love her humanity in the midst of her glorious strength.

I was so glad to see a happy ending, although it squeezed my heart! It really couldn't have ended any other way, and I am satisfied with the conclusion to all these marvelous adventures, but I'm also longing for more.
